Being the world’s policeman fighting everywhere for a hundred years with no end in sight has not helped. Check out how this model worked for England where the sun now sets.

But it was a glorious hundred years!

And those places where Britain ruled still show benefits. India for example. There would be no massive democracy in that Asian region to counter China had it not been for Britain.

Nonsense. Fighting for and establishing freedom in the world is our duty, and a right of people of this world. It isn't being the worlds policeman.

If you are suggesting that we shouldn't have stop the Japanese Imperial army, and their enslavement of millions of people all along the pacific Asian coast and Islands, you haven't a clue about world history, and what the world would look like today if we didn't fight these fights.

A free world is also a more prosperous world. We are seeing prosperity diminish in this world partly because liberty and freedom are diminishing in this world.

If you think we can sit on this continent with our heads in the sand and mind our own business, that the world will be just as well off without us, and that they will leave us alone, you are dead wrong.
